No time for fence sitting reflection on what is starkly obvious. Imprisonment in student halls this weekend is illegal. It is not permitted under any Coronavirus regulations, (even if such a regulation were considered lawful). 1/4
It is fundamental breach of human rights and criminal. It is fundamental breach of contract. Students may respond by accepting the tearing up of their uni contract, go home and sue the uni for damages. 2/4
They should record who is attempting to imprison them. Names and details, badge numbers, employers and company vehicles. Demand specific legal basis allegedly relied on. Then go home. 3/4
Call emergency lines of criminal law solicitors. Wake them up. Lawyers should be acting now.

This is laworfiction opinion not being present but just seeing reports, but will any lawyer out there call this out as wrong? This is important.
